How to query users.list() in node-appwrite?
I'm having issues with querying User in node-appwrite. I've shared my codebase as well.
TypeScript
import { Account, Client, ID, Users } from "node-appwrite";
const APPWRITE_ENDPOINT = import.meta.env.VITE_APPWRITE_ENDPOINT;
const APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID = import.meta.env.VITE_APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID;
const APPWRITE_API_KEY = import.meta.env.VITE_APPWRITE_API_KEY;
const client = new Client()
.setEndpoint(APPWRITE_ENDPOINT)
.setProject(APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID)
.setKey(APPWRITE_API_KEY);
export async function getUserByEmail(email: string) {
const users = new Users(client);
// this is not appreciated way to filter users
const response = await users.list();
const userIndex: number = response.users.findIndex((user) => user.email === email);
// if user email is not found on Users table
if (userIndex !== -1) {
return response.users[userIndex];
} else {
return null;
}
}
export async function verifyUserEmail(email: string) {
const account = new Account(client);
await account.create(ID.unique(), email, "12345");
}
I tried to use Query in node-appwrite but every solutions and discussions didn't work for me.
Please let me know if someone has experienced with it.
TL;DR
- Developer is having trouble querying the `User` in `node-appwrite`.
- The `users.list()` method should accept an array of queries for filtering by email.
- Make sure to use the latest version of the Appwrite SDK (`v1.5.5`).
- The provided codebase reflects an outdated way of filtering users.
- Consider updating the code as per the instructions in the Appwrite documentation.
- Potential solution: Instead of querying all users and then finding the desired email, directly query users by email using `[Query.equal("email", email)]`. 
Are you using the latest node sdk? Appwrite cloud has been upgraded to v1.5.5 and the queries are a bit different in the latest version of appwrite.
the List users endpoint accepts an array of queries that allows you to filter by email. Have you read https://appwrite.io/docs/references/cloud/server-nodejs/users#list?
I tried this but didn't work actually.
TypeScript
const result = await users.list([Query.equal("email", email)]);
